I saw a cartoon in the late-'60 or early-‘70s. I don’t remember if it was colour or black-and-white. I don’t know the era it came from. I don’t know the main character of the cartoon. I don’t know which studio’s style it was. The character might have been a duck, and it may or may not have been Daffy Duck. Or he may not have been a duck at all. So basically… I got nuthin’. IIRC, the deranged character was motivating in a circle. Or a straight line. He kept singing ♫ We’re shovin’ right off agiiiiiin ♫ We’re shovin’ right off agiiiiiin ♫ We’re shovin’ right off agiiiiiin… ♫ ---

Could it have been Daffy Duck and Conrad the Sailor? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/WuyVVU8338Q/hqdefault.jpg "Daffy Duck and Conrad the Sailor") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuyVVU8338Q) ---

Daffy Duck, Warner Bros. That song was used in a number of their movies and cartoons. **EDIT:** Damn, I have to start reading more in these threads! ☹ ---

For the record, here is the song in a Dick Powell movie from 1937: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/cAm-bzk63OI/hqdefault.jpg "Song of the Marines 1937 - 2929") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAm-bzk63OI) ---

Here are a couple of other WB standards also used in their cartoons: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/eEvtvrSf22A/hqdefault.jpg "Captains of the Clouds Original Trailer") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEvtvrSf22A) The structure they parade past is the Parliament building in Ottawa.
